If you live in Canada i would suggest you buy a Z-Car.. they are readily available. If your in the states you midaswell go with the microsizer. A microsizer is the american Bit Char-G. It isnt a clone it is the real deal, and its fully compatible. Z-Cars are fully compatible with everything except the bodies of bit char-g's, but you can use them if you buy the adapter that comes in the z-car speed upgrade. I like z-cars because they are smaller, with a led light out of the box, but i did order a microsizer from Tiny so, we will have to see how partial i am to them in a few days!

IMO you should go for the z-car and a 3.8 motor from Tiny.. Your car would rip!! the factory 2.2 in the z-car is still pretty nice! But in the 3.8 from tiny your car is going to be FAST! I would suggest buying the z-car and then getting these options from here.

and get the 3.8 and the microsizers tune up kit. Then you should be flying!

Z-cars are pretty cool. The light mod is easier to do, but changing bodies are pretty much nil until you get the universal body adapter and change the rear wheels to a smaller set.

I'm having tons of fun with my son's Z-car. It's my frankenstein right now and it's looking great!

Let's see... ZZ suck because they are more in proportion than a Z car? Umm...ZZ suck because they are just as easy to control as a Z car? Phew... how 'bout this: ZZ suck because I can fit 3cells in the belly in series and still fit the stock ZZ body and ride wheelies and go 11 mph and a 20.5 foot scale 1/4 mile in 1.75 seconds. Yeah, ZZ suck. What?


I don't understand why a ZZ sucks.

z cars are cool but i hate the controller, my clone that has the same kind of controller is really akward and uncomfortable to hold

bitcharg's are cool
but zz's are also cool. Microsizers can go fast but i have found some tweak outs while driving them. Microsizers have lots of off the shelf mods but i think bitcharg's have the most mods available (because they are the original! The zz booster packs are nice for the new zipzaps. Ya i try to make my civic an import tuner...kinda...

Umm... Bit Char-g's and Microsizers are the EXACT same car except for the paint and frequency. Microsizers are sold in America. Bit Char-g's are sold elsewhere.
